A Call To God’s Church
But concerning that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (Mark 13:32)
As we are anticipating the end times, there are three things we should be doing as members of God’s Church. We have so much hope because we are His children. Therefore we need to allow that hope to ignite our faith and carry out these three things as we await Christ’s return.
First, we must be wise. Before the rapture of the saints, be wise and study the Word of God. That's why these words are here. You don't need to stay in the dark. You need to know the Word of God. You haven't graduated from Sunday School. You know that you haven't arrived spiritually, intellectually, or academically. You have to keep learning. Stay in the Word of God and be wise so that you can see what is soon to come.
Second, we must be faithful. If ever there was a time to align your values to the Word of God, and align your finances to the Word of God, to make sure the Gospel is preached to all the world; it is now! This is why we give and why we serve. Our purpose is to glorify Jesus and align with Christ! Let’s be faithful.
Finally, we must be expectant. King Jesus is coming secretly for His saints. It can happen before we say, “Amen.” That would be fine with me. I'm ready. Are you ready? If Jesus came today, are you ready? Are you confident that when Jesus appears, you will go to heaven with Him immediately? He will change you in the twinkling of an eye.
You need to think about that. Do you know that you know that you know Him? Has there been a moment in your life when you have actually turned from sin and placed your faith in Christ? If you have not, you need to settle it once and for all, today. Regardless of where you've been, regardless of how you've served, regardless of who you are; you need to do it today.
